Listen Later

London in 2012 was a momentous occasion for Paralympic sport with record crowds and unprecedented support.

On this episode of the ParalympicsGB podcast Hannah Cockcroft celebrates the 10th anniversary of the games with friend and fellow Paralympian Dan Greaves.

Dan has previously competed in the discus at a total of six Paralympic Games and he explains to Hannah why the event in London beats them all!

He also talks about the ParalympicsGB togetherness, the disparity between coverage for Para vs non disabled athletes and the (slightly) sneaky thing he did before his silver medal discus throw at the London Stadium a decade ago.
